Walker's Woods Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I stole her from Emmett F[D]ry,
and [G]now what's done [D]is [G]done.
Like [B]any man I'm [C]afraid to die,
but I'm [G]hurt too bad to run[D].
I [C]ran with her [B]to Walker's Woods
with him [C]close on [G]my heels;
I knew he'd kill to [C]get her back,
and I [G]know just how [D]he feels.
[G]

[Verse 2]
Oh, the [D]sun never shines in
Walker's Woods;
[B]I doubt if it would want to come
in [C]even if it [B]could,
'Cause the [C]gators and [G]the
cottonmouths, the sand [B]that pulls you [C]down
Makes Walker's Woods a
[D]haven for the damned.
[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]By the quicksand [D]over there my
[G]dream came to an end:
She [B]said it was a [C]big mistake,
that [G]she'd return to [D]him,
So I [C]gave her to the [B]hungry sands,
[C]now all I loved is [G]dead--
And all that's left is [C]the scarlet rag
that she [G]wore upon [D]her head.
[G]

[Verse 4]
Oh, the [D]sun never shines in
Walker's Woods;
[B]I doubt if it would want to come
in [C]even it [B]could,
'Cause the [C]gators and [G]the cotton
[B]mouths,the sand that pulls you [C]down
Makes Walker's Woods a [D]haven for
[G]the damned.

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][G][Eb]

[Verse 5]
[Ab]I've no regrets; I [Eb]loved her; five
more [Ab]minutes I'll [Eb]be f[Ab]ree--
I'd have [C]made it if [Db]that cottonmouth hadn't
[Ab]made his strike at [Eb]me.
But I [Db]have to laugh when I [C]think how
mad old [Db]Emmett's going to [Ab]be
When he finds out he [Db]never got
to [Ab]take one [Eb]shot at me.
[Ab]

[Verse 6]
Oh, the [Eb]sun never shines in
Walker's Woods;
[C]I doubt if it would want to come
in [Db]even if it [C]could,
'Cause the [Db]gators and [Ab]the cottonmouths, the
[C]sand that pulls you [Db]down
Makes Walker's Woods a
[Eb]haven for the damned.

[Outro 1]
